We all have spasms with ms (much less now that I am on Lipitor) but your episode sounds different. I have heard of sleep paralysis where one awakes but the body doesn't. But there again, it isusually symmetrical

no big deal ask away with the questions except you will have to tell me the difference of the two test...normally i dont pay attention to the differnt ones just know they are mris...sorry and so bad on my part due to the fact i work in the medical field,,,lol..shhhhhh dont tell anyone i dont know the difference...

good question...i have mris with and without contrast..on my head neck and upper and lower spine..so i have lost track on how many it is now..i think like 10 or more......so i wonder if they have done both of those kinds or not..i would guess the ones at the hospital were both just cause i had more time in the machine then normal...but will be getting those films here soon to take to my new neur dr...so i will ask him about that..thanks

MRI has a pivotal role in the diagnosis of CNS disorders but has only recently been applied to diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Martin Bendszus and Guido Stoll discuss how MRI is being used to assess peripheral nerve lesions in experimental and clinical contexts, including recent advances in the development of novel contrast media.

One other thing. My husband went over 15 years with severe episodes of MS like symptoms and NO MRI's showed it. Optic nerve was scanned when his vision was 20/400. the DR that did it was real "up" on MS and such, so I imagined he scanned it right, but it showed nothing. We were told that in a small percentage of MS'rs, it does not show up in test. Gary was DX'd as clinical MS, it responded to the treatments but did not show up in test

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION ALSO..IT HELPS ME OUT GREATLY...JUST TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO GO THRU THE SAME STUFF...SAD AS IT MAY BE IT ALWAYS GIVES ME HOPE TO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE GETTING THRU EVERYTHING WITH THIS DISEASE...
